The basic outline of the Pull-Press-Squat or PPS method came from the early stages my strongman training. My training partners and I knew that all strongman contest events involved some kind of pressing, some kind of pulling, and lots of leg strength. We also liked to train at a higher volume and wanted to squat, pull, and press more than just once a week. So we started doing workouts that involved some form of a press, pull, and squat in EACH training session three times a week. The other days would usually be filled in with either event training, plyo, or skill work. We are not just talking about bench presses, deadlifts, and back squats exclusively, but many various exercises cycled in and out as you will see. Again, itís never the science behind a training method, it always comes down to the effort that YOU put into it.
